You need to search for the Costambar circuit to get our actual schedule.

I hope you all find this useful.

Fire in the hole!

Here's Louise risking life & limb for your culinary delight. Luckily this fire was deliberate!

Don't forget tomorrow, Friday, it's fish & chips from 5.30pm.

Here's what you've been missing

In case you haven't had an opportunity to dine at The Restaurant, here's a teaser of some of Louise's creations.

Burgers with a difference

Rather than do fish & chips every Friday we've decided to provide some variety for you. Tonight Louise is cooking burgers with a difference.

She has created three uniquely different beefburgers for you:-

Garlic, red pepper & spinach;

Onion, celery & roasted almond;

Chilli & pineapple.

All available with or without cheese & served with tortilla chips for just RD195.

Ice Cream Sundaes!

Yes folks we have Ice Cream Sundaes at The Restaurant.

"Food with a difference"

For some time now Louise & I have been trying to find the words to describe what we offer at The Restaurant.

There are many styles of eateries - fast food, fine dining, pub grub, haute cuisine, gourmet, etc - but none of them accurately encapsulate what we do. Luckily for us we overheard somebody telling a friend what he'd experienced at The Restaurant. He called it "food with a difference".

What is "food with a difference"?

It's a constantly varied combination of dishes & flavours. It's homemade soups with unexpected ingredients like potato, onion & cheddar cheese or chilled cucumber. It's main courses that include fresh local vegetables and herbs. It's delicious ice cream sundaes served every day.

Discover food with a difference at The Restaurant - we know you will be pleasantly surprised.

Fish & Chips is back!

Yes folks, tonight we start serving Louises' fantastic fish & chips & coleslaw again. It all starts at 5.30pm.

ALSO:

Sunday is roast beef day.
Once a month on Sundays we will be serving a roast dinner.
This Sunday it's roast beef for only RD295. The starter is potato, onion & cheddar cheese soup & ice cream sundae for dessert at only RD95 each.

I bet your mouth is watering now!

We hope to see you soon.
Mark & Louise

Dispelling a few myths ...

Well we've been open a week now & have been hearing a few myths going around town. Therefore I thought I'd put the record straight on a few points.

You do not need to dress up to visit The Restaurant, jacket, tie or long pants are not required. We do however ask no beachwear please.

You do not need to spend RD500 to dine with us. We have delicious homemade soups & starters available for only RD150 & lighter main courses for only RD195. Full main courses are only RD295 too!

You can just pop in for a drink & chat if you want. Sit outside on the sun terrace or at the bar. Why not come for Happy Hour before 7pm & check out some of the best prices on beer & rum drinks in town.
